Pixel 5 starts reverse wireless charging when connected to USB cable

San Francisco: Google Pixel 5 starts its reverse wireless charging feature, effectively turning it into a Qi charging pad automatically whenever a user plugs in a USB-C cable.

Unlike other devices, Pixel 5 turns on ‘Battery Share’ automatically when you plug into a USB-C port.

A user will get a notification the first time the feature turns on, but it will happen every time you plug in the phone, reports 9To5Google.

However, the ‘Battery Share’ feature will also turn off automatically if the Pixel 5 doesn’t sense something using that power.
